CATERING
In everything we do and in everything we serve, we put our guests first. Led by Executive Chef, Dave Diedrich, our award-winning culinary team takes great pride in crafting a wide range of innovative and delicious plates for your Racine, WI event attendees. We are your personal culinary team while you are with us. We’re energized by our environment, emboldened to craft exciting culinary offerings worth of the architecture and creative energy that surrounds us. Each and every dish is handmade with the freshest regionally sourced ingredients available. Many of the fruits and vegetables, as well as the honey, are sourced from our very own gardens and beehives on property! Unlike many other hotel conference venues, Wingspread’s Racine, WI event space does not have a set dining outlet, nor do we serve the general public. This means your attendees can dine with purpose and without distraction. Whether you'd like a momentous dinner inside the stunning Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Wingspread corridors or perhaps a light, yet energy-boosting lunch on the patio or the guest house, our team is completely flexible and able to perfectly tailor and time the culinary aspects of your event. At Wingspread, we take the time to learn about any dietary restrictions or special needs you may have in advance. You can then rest assured knowing that every meal we serve you will seamlessly and consistently meet your requirements, allowing you to relax and indulge. We look forward to serving you at our Racine, WI venue!Must Use In-House Catering

The Sam and Gene Johnson Guest House offers 40 well appointed and relaxing overnight accommodations on the Wingspread Retreat & Executive Conference Center campus. With an oversized, yet welcoming living room, your guests can continue their converations into the late evening in an inviting, comfortable and informal atmosphere. It is often during these relaxed encounters that trust, candor and breakthrough ideas emerge.
Completed in 2001 and awarded the LEED Gold Certification since 2010, the Guest House blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Designed in harmony with the prairie style of Wingspread, the 38,000 square foot building settles quietly into the bluff above the pond while its zigzag shape diguises a redience nearly three times the size of Wingspread.
The Guest House and its surrounding landscape are the model for sustainable design. The entire building including interior products and materials minimizes the Guest House's impact on the environment and reduces energy costs. Many guest rooms furnishings are manufactured locally and fabrics consist predominatly of natural, renewable materials. We've truly harmonized green design with comfort and elegance.
The living room is floored in warm Brazilian cherry, the sofas and chairs were carefully selected for comfortable conversation. A massive limestone fireplace, flanked by books is a popular place for conferees to continue dialogue over drinks and hors d'oeurvres. Guest rooms overlook the woods and water and invite restful and refreshing sleep.

Enjoy Better Ideas and Lower Stress During Your Next Meeting In 2012 David Strayer, a researcher from the University of Utah, did what we all used to do – he went outside and played. Of course he brought a group of friends. Together they took a four-day backpacking trip. During the course of the journey they found that their ability to solve puzzles increased significantly. Strayer’s group performed an amazing 47 percent better at solving puzzles than the control group did over the same amount of time while in pre-hike mode. Could it be that the answer is, in fact, blowing in the wind? Numerous scientific and psychological studies have repeatedly demonstrated the value of time outside – specifically, in nature. Hikes in the woods, strolls across fields, quiet contemplation by a lake or pond may have once been viewed as recreation only or “downtime.”Location
